    Classic fight. Pacman got clipped big-time but refuses to go down.

    It's probably my favorite. I've watched it more times than probably any other fight and still each time I find excitement and notice new details throughout. Classic mix of technical boxing and hunger-driven action.

    Not my favourite fight, not my favourite Pacquiao fight, but a great fight nonetheless. I scored it 114-114. I love when two prime HOF-class fighters really go at it!

    One of my favorite fights of all time! Marquez is stylistically a nightmare for pacquiao. i dunno how their fight would be at 147 or 140.

    I like to pretend that fight never happened.

    It was Pac's worst performance since 122..

    Its the Fight that Got me into boxing. I watched boxing before from both fighters like my first big fight was Marquez vs Barrera then i saw Barrera vs Pacquiao but then when Marquez vs Pacquaio II came that fight made boxing my life i havent missed a marquez or Pacquaio fight since and Marquez is now my favorite fighter and I wont miss any of there fights. Each time I watch the Fight it has me on my feet and Brings back that memory.

    its amazing going from the first fight to this one and seeing how much pacquiao had changed . in any case Ithink these guys styles are and will always be made for eachother. A 3rd fight wont be competitive though bc of Marquez' age and fighting at a higher weight class.

    If not for that balls to the wall move of Erik Morales on round 12 of Pac-Morales 1, this would easily be my favorite fight of Pac as well.
    JMM was countering Pac in the middle of his combinations here like crazy!

    It's an under-appreciated classic for sure. 2 of the best fighters of their generation fighting each other. This it height of boxing skill and drama. When Pac and JMM are retired, they will be missed. Both of these guys gave a lot to boxing.

    No way pac was strong from the beginning. He admitted himself that he couldn't read Marquez's jab all night. Marquez had pac very confused in a few rounds in this fight. Pac could only land some lefts because his speed.

    It was a great fight though, regardless of who you thought won, it doesn't change the action this fight and excitement this fight produced.
